GwinnettCounty: Top Storieshttp://www.gwinnettcounty.com/portal/gwinnett/HomeGwinnettCounty: Top Storiesen-usFri, 09 Dec 2016 16:41:28 ESTCounty lifts outdoor burn banhttp://www.gwinnettcounty.com/portal/gwinnett/Home/Stories/ViewStory?story=FireDanger_BurnBans_111816UIDcountyliftsoutdoorburnbandecember92016Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:00:00 EST<p>Effective Saturday,<strong> December 10</strong>, the Gwinnett County Fire Marshal&lsquo;s Office will lift the temporary suspension on outdoor burning. This includes resuming the issuance of permits to conduct bonfires and construction pit burns and lifting the restrictions on smoking and grilling in Gwinnett County-operated parks. The suspension was put in place on November 18 due to extreme drought conditions across much of the state.</p>
<p>The county is still experiencing drought conditions, therefore, residents are encouraged to remain cautious and follow safety rules for outdoor burning.</p>
<p><strong>The types of fires that are allowed without a permit are: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The burning of leaves, limbs, and natural vegetation that may fall on one&rsquo;s property.</li>
<li>Fires for the purpose of keeping warm when the outdoor temperature is 50 degrees or lower.</li>
<li>Fires for the purpose of cooking food for human consumption.</li>
<li>Recreational fires in commercially available chimineas or outdoor fireplaces.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The types of fires that require written permits from Gwinnett County Fire Plan Review are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Land clearing pit fires</li>
<li>Bonfires</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The following general rules govern all burning:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Never leave an outdoor fire unattended.</li>
<li>Burning is not permitted when prevailing winds are predicted to be, or are in excess of 15 miles per hour; when the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning or a Fire Weather Watch; or during an air pollution episode, such as an air pollution alert, warning, or emergency declared by proper authorities. Residents must wait at least 24 hours following the passage of a cold front before burning.</li>
<li>No burning of solid waste or household garbage is allowed.&nbsp; No burning of any materials that emit a heavy dark smoke, such as rubber products, oils, roofing material, and petroleum-based products are allowed.</li>
<li>No burning when smoke presents a health hazard to persons near the fire.</li>
<li>No burning shall be conducted within 20 feet of flammable, combustible, or explosive materials unless otherwise specified by the Fire Marshal&rsquo;s Office.</li>
<li>No burning allowed on Sundays or at night. Compliant bonfires, cooking fires, and recreational fires in chimineas and outdoor fireplaces may be burned on Sundays and at night provided all other criteria and restrictions are applied.</li>
<li>The Fire Marshal&rsquo;s Office may temporarily prohibit any and/or all outdoor fires.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you plan to conduct an outdoor burn to get rid of small twigs, limbs, and leaves, or have a construction site employing an approved burn pit, continue to check the burn status daily on the Gwinnett Fire Marshall&rsquo;s website, <a href="http://www.gwinnettfiremarshal.com" target="_blank">www.gwinnettfiremarshal.com</a>, or call the Burn Information Line at 678.518.4979.&nbsp;</p>Proposed 2017 budget invests in key areashttp://www.gwinnettcounty.com/portal/gwinnett/Home/Stories/ViewStory?story=2017_Budget_111516UIDproposed2017budgetinvestsinkeyareasdecember22016Fri, 02 Dec 2016 00:00:00 EST<p align="left">Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash presented&nbsp;a&nbsp;<a href="/static/departments/boc/pdf/2017_Budget/2017_Proposed_Budget_Resolution.pdf" target="_blank">proposed $1.56 billion budget</a>&nbsp;for fiscal year 2017 to the public and the Board of Commissioners during a&nbsp;<a href="/static/departments/boc/pdf/2017_Budget/Chairman_Proposed_2017_Budget_Briefing_111516.pdf" target="_blank">briefing</a>&nbsp;on November 15. The proposed budget is up about 5.5 percent from this year and includes a $1.18 billion operating budget plus another $384 million for capital improvements.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">A&nbsp;<a href="https://viewer.earthchannel.com/PlayerController.aspx?&amp;PGD=gwinetcoga&amp;eID=506" target="_blank">public hearing</a>&nbsp;was held on&nbsp;December 5&nbsp;at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center and <a href="http://stg.gwinnettcounty.com/dyna/offline/budgetFeedbackForm.jsp" target="_blank">written comments</a>&nbsp;will be accepted through December 31 before commissioners adopt the budget on January 3. A video about the budget proposal shown during the public hearing is now airing on TVgwinnett and is available to watch <a href="https://vimeo.com/192671146" target="_blank">on demand</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">Nash said, &ldquo;This proposal is in line with Gwinnett&rsquo;s history of sustainable, conservative budgeting practices and looks at least three to five years ahead at future implications of our decisions. The primary focus of this proposed budget is on retaining employees, supporting public safety, expanding the judiciary to meet demand and enhancing community engagement.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The operating budget includes new positions in the public safety and judicial areas, including staffing for two new 24/7 ambulance units, along with additional staff to improve traffic management, reduce the waiting list for senior homemaking services and enhance the Board&rsquo;s community outreach efforts.</p>
<p>Workforce retention measures such as a four percent pay-for-performance raise for eligible employees, continuation of longevity pay and revamped pay for police officers, sheriff deputies and corrections officers are also contained in the budget proposal. As indicated during the discussion of the 2017 proposed budget, the Board of Commissioners has requested the County Administrator and Human Resources staff to put together for the Board&rsquo;s consideration additional steps to address attrition issues with certain positions where competition with other jurisdictions and with the private sector is greatest.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, voters approved the renewal of the special purpose local option sales tax. The new six-year <a href="http://www.gwinnettsplost.com" target="_blank">SPLOST</a> program will begin when the current program ends in April. The estimated $950 million it could raise is slated for county and city capital improvements in transportation, recreation, civic center expansion, public safety, libraries and senior services.</p>
<p>Capital improvements funded by SPLOST programs include an $82 million expansion of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, a new gym at George Pierce Park plus expansions and improvements at other parks. Construction on the courthouse expansion is slated to begin in the middle of 2017 and should be completed in late 2019. The senior center housed in the Norcross Human Services Center will also be renovated.</p>
<p>Water and sewer user fees will fund upgrades to water and sewer facilities, sewer line inspections using a new acoustic monitoring system to help locate clogs before spills occur, and more public education to keep fats, oils and grease out of the sewer system.</p>
<p>Nash again tapped residents and business people to serve as volunteers on a budget review committee. They heard <a href="/portal/gwinnett/Departments/CountyAdministrator/Communications/TVGwinnett/VideoOnDemand/BudgetReviewMeetings" target="_blank">presentations from elected officials and department directors</a> in late summer and studied departmental business plans, budget needs and revenue projections before making their recommendations for the 2017 budget.</p>
<p>The proposed budget is available for viewing <a href="http://www.gwinnettcounty.com" target="_blank">online</a> and as a hard copy in the Financial Services office at <a href="/portal/gwinnett/ContactUs/Directions" target="_blank">GJAC</a>, Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm.</p>
